What are you on about? Literally drive north a bit towards Whistler, you can get out of the light pollution in an hour or two

Have you never been there? This light pollution map wildly underestimates light pollution outside of cities. I can tell you from experience you're not getting nearly 22 mpsas skies anywhere near Pemberton.
